DEAF CHILDREN.
A deaf child is defined by Section 69 of the Education Act, 1921, as

elementary school." This definition covers some children who are totally,
or almost totally, deaf and can only be appropriately taught in a school
for deaf children, and others who have partial hearing and can be appropriately
taught in a school for partially deaf children. Only the first class
should be included in this section.
